J. II. TELLER, Sec.

There will be meeting at the Audubon
county court house, Saturday, June 18th,
at 1 so p. m, in the interest of the North
Eastern Mutual Insurance Company. Now
let every citizen that can spare the time
come and have talk with us and give us
your help, hand and application. Tell all
yovr neighbors. We, the company, deem
this the proper way Of letting people know
what mutual insurance is doing, and that
they need not take the agents word when
he comes around. J. II. ZELLKR,

True to it's Record.

A considerable number of demo-
Gratis prominent in the controlling
circle of the party have published a
request to ex, congressman, b. I.
Frederick to be their standard bearer
in the coming campaign, and Fred
erick simultaneously agrees to be-
come the sacrifice. If this dominant
minority shall succeed in securing
the nomination Of Mr., Frederick as
gubernatorial candidate, it will
after all be in happy accord with
the history Of the party in standing
upon dead issues or the side of ques.
tons that have been rejected by the
people. With Mr.. Frederick as its
candidate the party enters the cam
paign opposed to Legislation looking
to the control of corporations, in the
degree that a candidate is the repre-
sentative of his party. Frederick
was pledged for and against the
interstate commerce law, but on its
passage cast his vote for the railroads
and against the people. 1t would
be exceedingly fitting and appro.
pirate that when the democratic
party comes before the people this
fall denouncing the demonstrated
success of prohibition it should sup
port its record as a champion of lost
causes by presenting . candidate
representing the corporation forces
that battled against the people. II
would be foreign to the policy Of
the party to advance and advocate
any measure. 1t is for the good Of
the public that it is satisfied to ex'
pend its forces in the support oi
dead and defeated issues, rather than
that it were able to perfect and oper.
ate the doubtful schemes of its
leaders.

A SALOON KEEPER FINED a1OO


To-day, In the Police Court, Mr. Padgett called
Judge Snells attention to five charges OF selling
liquor to minors against Alfred Wandel, the saloon
keeper at the corner OF 14th and streets north
west. Five cOlored boys ranging in age from Is to
II years testified that they hadplayed pool in the
DEFENDANTS place, got his checks and afterwards
exchanged the checks for drinks. One OF the wit
nesSes said the boys had been playing pool and
drinking In the defendants place for about two
years.
The defendant denied selling liquor to the BOYS
and Luther NJ. Slocum, q saloon keeper, testified
that he had seen the defendant refuse liquor to
minors.
MI. Padgett said that this is case in which the
law should be imposed TO its fullest extremity.
The facts show that these newsbOys go there and
not only learn to drink rum but they also learn "a
be gamblers. and II is In this way they manage tC
get their whisky. II there was ever case where
the extreme penalty OF the law should be imposed
IL Is this case.

brutal Prize Fight at Chicago.
GEORGE DUCHARME KNoCKs OUT TOM DoHOGANy
AFTER TwRNTY ROUNDS

CHICAGO, Feb. ls.-A desperate prize light came
on just outside the limits last night the principals
being George Ducharme, better known as Tom
Chambers unknown, and Tom Dohogany, who
fought a draw with Frank Glover on three differ-
ent occasions. From the commencement TO the
nth round Ducharne had the battle his own way,
but In the commencement or the sixth Dohogany
got in terrific right hand swinging blow, which
IL was thought for a minute would settle Du-
charme. In the seventh round Ducharme closed
Dohoganys left eye, splitting his lips and punish
Ing his face SO that IL was almost unrecognizable.
Most OF the spectators left becoming disguised at
the brutality or the mill. From the fourteenth 10
the twentieth round Ducharme had II all his own
way. AT the close both men were covered with
blood from head TO foot, their jaws and eyes were
swollen and black and their features generally
distorted. The hight was for the gate receipts,
about $500.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1S.-The strike OF coopers in
this city has not interfered much with the trade
OF the millers, partly because IT is now the duh
season and there is an immense stock OF barrels on

employed at one OF the largest cooperages I'm this
vicinity. Another reason that the strike is fail.
